Factional gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, has said that he would contest for the Ondo State governorship seat despite INEC recognition of Jimoh Ibrahim.
He made this known in a statement personally signed by him (Jegede).
According to Jegede, “some anti-democratic elements were poised to subvert his mandate.”He further stated that: “We are not unaware of the fact that the anti-democratic elements and their allies in the system have mapped out series of surreptitious tactics to subvert our mandate, and interfere with the course of administration of justice, with the latest of such being a baseless petition against the justices of the special panel set up by the President of the Court of Appeal, to blackmail them to washing off their hands from the case before them.
“No matter the act of blackmail, I have absolute confidence in the judiciary as the last hope and bastion of our democratic process”.
